Conservative Party

The UK Conservative Party is a conservative political party in the United Kingdom, founded in 1834. The Conservatives replaced the Tory Party upon its dissolution in 1834, and the party was very strong for over a century. In the 1920s, the UK Labor Party became the main opposition party, and Winston Churchill succeeded in creating a national unity government in 1940 during World War II. In 1979-1990, Margaret Thatcher served as the first female Prime Minister and one of the most famous conservative leaders in the UK, and the conservatives liberalized the economy. However, the UK Conservative Party became euroskeptic, and it supported the Brexit referendum to leave the European Union.
